Every third Thursday in November the lovers of Beaujolais come to
Beaune, 'the capital' of the Burgundian wine, to taste the famous
Beaujolais and assess the quality of the vintage.
According to 'Esplanade' director Amelija Tomasevic, the hotel has
prepared a special culinary offer for this year's festival, with
Varazdin's dairy industry Vindija presenting its selected cheese
sorts at the festival.
Croatia imported about 10,000 litres of Beaujolais in 1999 and
according to the latest data that number has doubled this year.
The festival is open until November 23.
